Tips and Facts in Costs of Injection Molding  Calculation   Injection molding is one of the most common manufacturing methods, which allows the manufacturers to produce custom parts by melting plastic materials and putting them into molds. You can produce custom parts in large quantities with plastic molding, but you need to be aware of the costs involved in the production process. In this guide, you will learn...

How to Produce a Sturdy 3D-Printed Hinge For Prototypes   Hinges are common objects you can find in everyday items, such as doors, compartments, containers, windows, product shells, and so on. The good news about hinges is that although they are small objects that might look insignificant, these objects are a very important part of any item that requires it. It is also an important part of your product prototype....

  3D printing has many uses nowadays. It’s not only the method used by the manufacturers to create various prototypes for their commercial production, but it is also the method used by hobbyists to create various prototypes for their hobby-related projects, such as to create high-end custom motorcycle parts.   How can you make high-end custom...

Plastic CNC Machining - Create Custom Precise Plastic Parts? Plastic CNC machining is a preferred rapid manufacturing method that will be used to create precise machined parts using various metal alloys as the primary materials. The good thing about this method is that since you can calculate the process using a computerized program, you will get the machined parts that follow your design plan to the letter, with...

  There are two common types of die casting, which are the hot chamber and the cold chamber die casting processes. Each method will use the same chamber-based process, but in a different way.     Hot chamber die casting is the process you will use for alloys that have low melting temperatures, such as zinc die casting. So, when you heat the die...

  Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing is a type of 3D printing method that makes use of the polymer powders to create the parts, components, and prototypes you want by using the additive manufacturing process. The equipment for SLS 3D printing uses laser technology to sinter the polymer powders and make an actual 3D object during the...

The quality you can get from the CNC-machined parts will depend on the materials you use to create the parts. The better the CNC machining materials you are using, the better the quality of the parts you will get. In producing CNC-machined parts and components, you will need to pick the best materials for the budget you have for your project. In this guide,...
